Former Notre Dame 4-star receiver enters the transfer portal

A highly thought of receiver out of Gurnee, Illinois, never lived up to his 4-star rank coming out of high school. Jones rarely saw the field and finish his Notre Dame career without registering any statistics.

You can now add Micah Jones to the list of Notre Dame players who have entered the transfer portal and will no longer be part of the Irish program.

Jones will be leaving South Bend with a degree in hand, but will be moving on with his football career.

A highly thought of receiver out of Gurnee, Illinois, never lived up to his 4-star rank coming out of high school. Jones rarely saw the field and finish his Notre Dame career without registering any statistics.

This morning Jones, took to Twitter and posted this message:

Could he follow Jafar Armstrong and go back to his home state and play for Illinois? Or will he drop down to the FCS level like John Olmstead for a chance to play?

Time will tell, but Jones exiting with a degree from Notre Dame will go a long way even if his playing career doesn’t. We wish Jones the best luck on his next stop in his football journey.
